So you believe in an Andrea Yates style immersionism -- what a silly argument.

You got any infants. Tell me the sin they committed as an infant.

I'm perfectly content to let you argue that infants sin. It's so obviously an inane argument that's out of touch with adequate scriptural interpretation.

No, I am stating that you have a theology that supports "Andrea Yates immersionism", wasn't she the one who didn't want her kids to grow up to become sinners, and thus took their lives to ensure heaven for them?

As a father, and a grandfather, I can tell you that all of them "came from the womb telling lies".

Here's my question about that position--if infants sin (as Calvinists argue), then how can they possibly go to heaven, since they have not repented of that sin? If God brings unrepentant sinners to heaven, then why follow Christ at all? We can all be unrepentant sinners and God will bring those He wants (based on some arbitrary choice of His) to heaven anyway (which, according to the Calvinists, He does anyway).
